Basically you should be able to find the newer version of glibc on your distribution's repository. You should be able to upgrade it using your normal installation or upgrade procedures for your Linux distribution.


Well, I'm using SuSE Linux 9.3, that might be the problem.
Even 2.4 is not available as an update option.
And upgrading to OpenSuse is a little bit trickey, when you have no access to a remote console.

5.8.16 is working, and I leave it with that.

Yes there was a change. A more recent version of the gcc compiler is used, getting better optimizations and in turn more accurate benchmarks. By default it uses glibc 2.4. I think it's possible, but not so easy, for the developers to use a new compiler with an older glibc. I was unable to install 5.8.17 on Ubuntu Dapper, which is Ubuntu's "Long Term Support" version; I guess a lot of people run that version. So I suggested going at least one version back, that is, using glibc 2.3 on BOINC.

Meanwhile, you could try out BOINC 5.8.16 (packages for all versions can be found on http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/). I think it would be far easier than trying to get a newer glibc working on your system...


Yeah, I think so.
I downloaded glibc 2.5, and during configure it told me that I should'n installed into /usr/local.
So I read the FAQ and choose /usr/local/glibc2.
It is compiled, however the current version of boinc still won't start.
But two of the error messages are now gone.
The only one left is:

./boinc: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./boinc)

I have the libc.so.6 in /usr/local/lib/glibc2/lib
How can I tell boinc to use it, the version in /lib/tls is the old 2.3 one, and I don't want to overwrite it.

If there is no other way, I will try to use the version you mentioned.

Hi,

I updated my Linux client from 5.8.11 to 5.8.17.
But now it is not running anymore.
I get the following error:

./boinc: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./boinc)
./boinc: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4' not found (required by ./boinc)
./boinc: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3' not found (required by ./boinc)

Was there a change in the program, because .11 was working ok.
